Antlion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Antlions are a family of insects in the order Neuroptera, classified as Myrmeleontidae, from the Greek "myrmex", meaning "ant", and "leon", meaning "lion". |
 | | Antlions are easily distinguished from damselflies by their longer, prominent, apically clubbed antennae and different pattern of wing venation. |
 | | The antlion larva is a ferocious-appearing creature with a robust, fusiform body bearing three pairs of walking legs and a prothorax forming a slender mobile neck for the large square head, which bears an enormous pair of sicklelike jaws (mandibles) with several sharp, hollow projections. |
